Cooking classes» Private cooking parties at your location My Cooking Party has perfected the recipe for unforgettable events. Our hands-on cooking parties are a fabulous way to spice up your ordinary event or get together. We accommodate parties of all sizes in rented professional kitchens or private homes in the New York City, New Jersey and Philadelphia Area. Our events are perfect for Bachelorette parties, Bridal showers, Baby showers, Birthday parties and Celebrations of all kinds. Whether you choose to come to one of our NYC Culinary Loft, or would like us to send our chefs to your location, we would make your party a memorable one. » How does it work? Selecting your menu! Upon booking your event, our staff will send you our Full Menu Selection where you get to choose 3 courses. 1 Appetizer (choice of: appetizer, soup or salad), 1 Main Course (choice of: pasta, poultry, beef, lamb or seafood) and 1 Dessert. If your group includes vegetarians we can supplement vegetarian options which will be provided by our Catering Department. The chef is knocking on the door… Many people ask what they should do prior to our chef’s arrival and our answer is Absolutely Nothing! When our chef arrive they will bring all the necessary cooking equipment (working tables, cutting boards, knifes, pans, pots, peelers, spoons, mixing bowls..) and ingredients. They will arrive about one hour before the event and organize the working area as well as the kitchen to their liking. Yes, they will move things around but we promise you that you’ll get your kitchen back the same way it was. We also provide a sanitation assistant (cleaning person) who would make sure that your kitchen is spotless when our staff leave. "My Cooking Party was a great way to entertain without having to do any of the work and ultimately being served a 5-star meal at the end of the experience! The crew even did most of the cleaning up!" Gretchen Carlson - Fox & Friends Your guests are here! Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with hors d’œuvres and Complimentary Red and White Wine. During this time, guests have an opportunity to mingle, meet their chefs, and skim the extensive pantry to get their creative juices flowing. They will find cooking stations outfitted with kitchen equipment – tools and fresh produce cleaned and prepped. We recommend that you will stream music personalized to your group’s taste. (Approximately ½ hour) Cooking Time! Once all your guests have arrived and are comfortably settled, your leading chef will introduce the team of chefs and your guests will be divided into teams - either predetermined by you or chosen by the leading chef. Once at the working stations, each chef will ask the guests to put on their aprons and then introduce the menu you have selected. This is followed by an interactive cooking demonstration where your guests will learn kitchen tips and tricks and knife skills -- applicable to both the novice and the gourmet chef -- which they can use to get an edge for a lifetime. Our chefs will then “put your team to work”. (Approximately 1 ½ hours) Our wait staff will be walking around filling up your glasses and passing around hors d’œuvres through out the cooking time. Upbeat music will be playing in the back ground to create high energy environment like a COOKING PARTY should have. Dinner Time! At the completion of the cooking session the teams will proceed to sit down and enjoy the 4-star gourmet meal they have whipped up, plated by our Chefs. Our wait staff will ensure the best professional and top restaurant-quality service as your guests enjoy the fruits of their labor. (Approximately 1 hour) » What does a cooking party include?
